Where the Money Goes?

Thank you for your support of the ALS Society of BC. We are committed to improving the quality of life of ALS patients, their families and caregivers. We launch new initiatives and build on existing programs through donor feedback and results from our annual Patient Priority Survey. Your gift will help continue and enhance the ALS Society of BC programs.

Did you know:

There is a tax credit of 20% on your initial $200 donation. This means your $200 donation cost you only $160. After the initial $200 donation, the tax credit will be at 43.7%. This means that every donation (after the initial $200) will cost you only $56.30.

Important Note for On-Line Donations

Please note that an official tax receipt will be issued under the cardholder's name. The Income Tax Act does not permit us to issue tax receipts to anyone other than the donor (the person whose name is on the credit card).

This will mean that if a donation was made by an individual using a corporate credit card, then the company's name as displayed on the credit card will be used as the "donor name" listed on the Canadian e-tax receipt, as required by the CRA. Nevertheless, the individual's first & last name, entered during the donation or registration process, will still be listed in their donor/participant profile and in all reports.
